Crow cam ae about $600 from mory andthats for their stage 2 package. I think mine were $400 for install but can't remember. Your fuel consumption will go to sh*t thouh the bigger that you go.Since you want more down low grunt Crow Cams stage 2 would prob be the best.Rhys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60138-cam-for-a-bf-xr6-na/#findComment-914080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of dropping away at 6000rpm the cuve goes flat and doesn' dro away. The car runs out o revs. They would be alot eter with a built motor that is able to rev harder.

If that isn't enough, then maybe a shot of NOS! but then you're really pushing the limits of the bottom end...EDIT: if you want more low down torque, cams will most likely LOOSE power/torque below 3000rpm...
